Policy Developments Key Trends In 2011 Mayor John Marchione unveiled his vision for the City of Redmond: “Redmond is a city with two vibrant urban centers — Downtown and Overlake — and connected neighborhoods, providing high quality, responsive services to an engaged citizenry.” Since adoption of the first Transportation Master Plan in 2005, policy actions by the City and regional agencies have refined and reinforced Redmond’s urban center strategy, as well as its goal of increasing the diversity and sustainability of the transportation system. City Vision The vision is intended to influence all City work, from the biennial budget process to Comprehensive Plan updates, and was a guiding force for the Development of multi‑story, TMP. The TMP responds to the community vision through its urban centers mixed land uses with strategy, its attention to neighborhood connections, and its investments to improve mobility citywide for all users. The vision also influenced the residential spaces above development process of the TMP, which included a robust public outreach and engagement component. The comments and opinions voiced by commercial spaces will participants were key to establishing the direction of the plan, which is a spur the local market refinement of the direction established in the 2005 TMP. -

These facilities provide convenient access to transit via automobile or bicycle for people who do not live within convenient walking distance of a standard bus stop . Park-and-ride facilities also serve as a meeting place for carpool and vanpool partners . As the regional inventory of housing and employment grows, the demand for roadway capacity increases . Because roadway capacity and the ability to expand roadways is limited, park-and-ride lots provide an important amenity that supports the use of alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle, thereby requiring less overall roadway capacity . Further, by concentrating transit boardings at a single point, a more frequent level of service can be supported . This report reviews commuter parking demand assessments for the greater Bellevue area and considers this demand in light of existing parking facilities . BELLEVUE TRANSIT MASTER PLAN 1 Purpose It is commonly observed that not every park-and- ride lot has the necessary capacity to meet its current demand . -
